This car is so painfully beautiful
Why so painful?
@@xxdfoster cause we can't afford one
It is isnt it. I think I prefer the look to the countash now.
Fuel injected Countach. Super cool car, you have good taste. Now it's called the "Mercielagu" You like this, be sure to check them ou!... Google image search Lamborghini Mercielagu. Latr! ☺
Agree, although I would remove the wing.
Even by today's standards... the Diablo is STILL one of the best looking exotics.
Even more so with the ventless front end style gaining traction.
Agree
No way
Too bad the Cala did not go into production
What about the countach?
“Has more leg room than my countach.”
“It drives a lot better than my Carrea GT.”
Rich people problems! Haha
hahahaha
Elliot Rodger he bought the countach back when they were worth like 50k (mid 2000s)
He would be better off buying a gym and use it.
@Elliot Rodger Sorry, Elliott, but the "ultra rich" drive Paganis...as daily drivers. Jay is not even "rich" by the standards of 21st Century America. He was just smart enough to buy most of these cars when they weren't so expensive only the REAL rich could afford them. And that's the Jay Leno thing: it wasn't just money - it was as much smarts.
@@orangecayman520 He didn't even pay that much for the Countach...
I can always tell when Leno likes something. He will repeated it at least 3 times within an episode. And I can tell he really appreciates Franco. Well done, what a great tribute to a fine car and his mechanic.
I love the Diablo. No matter what the angle of the camera, there's no bad picture of that car..
It just makes you feel good to watch Jay Leno, especially in this one where he features Franco Barbuscia and his family, who are some of the greatest mechanics in the world, especially with Lamborghinis. Jay is passionate and deeply knowledgeable about cars and his enthusiasm comes through all of his videos, which just make them a joy to watch.
It's great to see that he makes these videos purely for fun and it's something he really enjoys
Lyman McLallen I absolutely love lenos videos. Takes me out of reality for a bit.
I have severe manic depression and I watch these videos to get me evened out again.
“Well it’s definitely easier to get into than a Countach.”
*folds himself in half and collapses into cockpit*
LOL.
That's great he gave a shout out to Franco's garage. Such humble people, truly professionals.
To hell with all these so-called can-be-driven-by-grandma lamborghinis they're coming out with. The Diablo was the last of a dying breed of pull your hair out wall poster lamborghinis. This is an awesome machine and thank you Jay for sharing it with the new kids on the block and letting them know what the term 'Supercar' ACTUALLY means.
seriously, RWD is so much better than 4 wheel drive.....
THE DIABLO, ANOTHER LAMBO MASTERPIECE, JUST LIKE THE 400 GT SUPERLEGGERA, MURA, COUNTACH, A REAL MAN'S CAR........
BimmerMann the murcielago is the last real Lamborghini with a manual transmission
+Jorge Madrid ...supercars are automatic now? wow. what changed
i'll put this gay automatic in sport mode, so I can use my paddle shifters hur hur hur
"certainly more leg room than in my countach." ohh the life
+lastdeezylastdon ''it rides smoother than my carrera gt'' aswell haha
You gotta earn it, then spend wisely.
We lowlife paesants are truly lucky to have TH-cam to tell & show these remarkable cars. Thanks Jay.
Had a little more power than my Nissan versa
Corners a little better than my Blazer.
You can tell that Franco does good work just judging by the amount of pride he shows when Jay's talking about his ride. Seems like an awesome gent.
i could stare at that vehicle all day
Last of the true bulls. Lamborghini, you will be missed (RIP 1998).
You haven't really addressed the point that I made Shaun. I never said that the current crop of Lamborghini's aren't great cars. When Richard Hammond described the new Huracan in relation to the past Lamborghinis he's reviewed, he said, "As a car, this Huracan is probably better than all of those other Lamborghinis. But, those cars are better Lamborghinis." And that is precisely my point. Great car or not, the latest crop of Lambos have strayed a long way from the original philosophy that Ferruccio had when he gave up tractor production in favor of cars. And, that is why I regard Lamborghini as having effectively died with the Diablo. We are, philosophically speaking, dealing with a completely different company today.
Philosophically speaking, all auto manufacturers are completely different companies than they were 60 years ago. In fact, most manufacturers are completely different companies than they were 60 years ago. It's called progress, I'm most instances.
"It's called progress, I'm most instances." In most instances, yes. And, for the most part, progress and evolution improves the breed. I'm still not a fan of the 991 911's steering as opposed to the 997, nor am I a fan of the direct injection, but I cannot deny that it is an incredible car to drive. Having driven both modern and classic Lamborghinis though, it's a different story. The reason the 911 and corvette are the Rolexes of the sports car worlds is that they possess consistency between generations. Do they make changes? Of course. The G-forces are higher. The styling has changed. The numbers are bigger (in everything from horsepower to MPG), but the cars still feel fundamentally similar between generations. New Lamborghinis, with the exception of the 550-2 Gallardo (and possibly the 580-2 Huracan. IDK because I haven't driven it yet), all feel completely alien compared to the Miura, Countach, and Diablo. The three cars I just named, the "real" Lamborghinis, if you will, also feel completely different. They are only united by their V12 and the incredible sense of alienation. Driving them is unlike anything else. Even the Aventador is as easy to drive as a VW golf once you get used to the turning radius and size. You have to be absolutely thrashing a modern Lambo to make it feel special (particularly with DCT cars like the Huracan), and that is why these cars are not deserving of the Lamborghini badge. EVERY moment in a Miura feels special. Same goes for the other two. That reference to emotion may seem silly, but supercars, PARTICULARLY Lamborghinis, are emotional purposes. Want a car for its performance numbers? Go buy a Camaro ZL1, Hellcat, or a GTR.
One of the most beautiful cars ever made
I Like how Jay not only shows the vehicles respect but also the owners of the vehicles he drives. He talks to them not at them.
the diablo was my favorite car growin up. When I was hella young I used to roll with my mom to the grocery store just so i could get the new dupont registry and look at these
I feel ya
I've always preferred the simpler, smooth, rounded look of the Diablo over the current Aventador. The Diablo is timeless. That's why a Diablo from the early 1990s still looks modern. The Aventador, with it's creases and angles might look nice today but may look dated in a few years.
@W J you do not own a Gallardo. Please stop making stuff up to sound cool keyboard warrior.
I did a project in Elementary school on the Diablo VT. Went to a dealership to do a little research...They let me sit in a Red & Yellow one. One of my favorite childhood memories.
Gold Pony *has ferrari emblem has profile picture*
Hmmm...maybe I can pull that off...
Go to a Lamborghini dealer...say I’m doing ‘research’ and need to test drive all their cars...
Ok that is super cool 👍🏻👍🏻😎
Red and yellow? Yuck! Lol
Liar
"more leg room trhan my Countach.", "Smoother than my Carerra GT."; how can you not be jealous of Jay. lol
My favorite car of all time, I was dreaming about it when was a kid.
To this day, the Diablo model is the one that pops in my mind whenever someone says "Lamborghini", without mentioning a car name.
The Diablo looks gorgeous in white, and my god it sounds fantastic. I do like the Lambos of today, but they just don't strike my fancy like these old timers.
Kinda went downhill when VAG started telling them to just milk it.
John Wade exactly
Totally agreed...Diablo is my holy grail...Countach is next in line...:)
Could not agree more. If I had the money and I would live in Los Angeles, I would buy a Diablo. Forget about the Huracan, I'd rather buy the R8 as a daily driver ;)
@@eugenecheong3269 that and a murci 02-03 i would take as its the last real lambo imo.
Jay is one of the best car guys on the planet. He appreciates every nut and bolt.
You hav to be one cool kat to pull of Denim
How do 327 of you not like this? Lol, Jay rocks and his car collection is stellar. A beautiful example of a first year Diablo and I'm still shocked it's came with no power steering, lol. Franco's shop sounds amazing.
I love the father/son team. I kept getting the vibe of the son's knowledge is from years and year working with his father. Great guys!
What a wonderful story Franco and the Lamborghini this is what the world needs more of
I find it hard to believe some people actually disliked this video! The Countach and Diablo were poster Lambo's in my generation and this car is just SO gorgeous! That Alpine CD player was from the 2000's, not as "classic" as the car, but still cool they kept it Alpine. Great video, Jay, just let me know if you need another driver to help you test out these cars... ha ha
jay, I'm willing to drive the camera car if needed. lol
So true, I had posters of the Countach and the Diablo as a kid.
Damn! i'm only 18 so i don't remember much about the the late 90's but i do remember a Lambo dealership close to my dads work. Me and my brother would look into the window a admire a purple diablo they had on showcase.
rec0n117 Same here. The 90's was just awesome for cars. Nobody cared about 0-60's or Nurburgring times. It was all about being able to say, "My car will go over 200mph! Will yours?" ; )
Those days on the floor with my Matchbox cars and Hot wheels looking up at my Diablo poster. OK so I was a teenager in the 90's but I stilled played with my toy cars and will all ways dream of the diablo.
It was funny seeing the gas lid open during acceleration. It looked like an airbrake on a fighter jet! 😄
92 ..just enough technology to make it reliable but not a million computers to make it had to fix. the good old days.
Well, when temps were right for the current tune im sur they were tollerable BUT, before computers controlling air fuel mixture and timing, these supercars and mucle cars had to be tuned for changing seasons.
91
These are some of the best looking Lamborghinis ever made. A lot smoother compared to the 70's and 80's ones
The '90s was the rise of the smoothed out rounded body design for most carmakers.
I agree.
I was a kid in the 80s, and I can attest-- THAT was the decade that ALL car-makers were watering down their designs...
Biggest crime in the book: *a 4 cylinder MUSTANG!* wtf!! 😨
@@theDavidChannel1 yeah and that smoothed out stuff SUCKS ..everything looks like an ipod with wheels
The Aventador is nice, but it's all about getting looked at while stopped at a light. Full of electronics too. The Diablo is a raw, driving machine. No ABS, No power steering, No traction control. It's a direct connection between driver and car. How a true performance car should be.
Ridiculous.. The diablo was king in its day... But no way what it should be. Aventador is the way. Amazing machine.
Mclaren F1. That is all.
The Aventador at least doesn’t break down every 100km’s.
that sound when he started it is just beautiful
Tell me Jay isn't one lucky guy! All those amazing beautiful machines. But he earned all he has I suppose. I like this show. Jay seems like an actual car guy. Not just a rich guy that knows nothing about the amazing cars they get to drive. Hey Jay, if you ever want a chauffeur, let me know!
as much as i like the new Huracan, Aventador and Sesto Elemento, the old school one still has my heart. The Countach and the Diablo are timeless beauties/beasts.
Wow, that car is a legend. My brain has been permanently set to say "WOW" every time I see that car from the back.
I agree I creamed my pants when they started the engine
I have a poster of one of these Diablo Lamborghini cars it's yellow. The poster is over 30 years old and yes it has always been my dream car. I love it's raw simplicity.
One of the sexiest cars ever made & the sound is amazing
It's aged so well, I used to think it looked ugly alongside a murcielago, but now I think both cars have become perfectly classic lamborghinis
This has been my favorite car for many, many years. It just looks so modern, yet it's from the early 90's.
I was more of a F50 maniac but Diablo is Diablo... Close second with Bugatti at third.
Yeah looks modern with those pop up headlights 😂
yeet some car designer somewhere needs to bring those back. Lights go up, lights go down...
In terms of visual design, the 90’s was a great time for cars.
Absolutely best sounding V12 ever! Still the best Lambo in my opinion
Just realized how much the yellow color on Rob Dahm's Diablo makes the car seem dated. The white on this car really makes it feel/look more modern.
This car would look like sex on wheels with a chrome wrap
Still looks relevant almost 25 years later.
I think it looks better. It doesn't need to have that angry stealthy look to be a masterpiece. It looks fast, and that's all there is to it.
..should be called the "Relaventador".
We need a newer looking one like how the new Stratos is.
just like miura and countach
Still relevant 30 years later
One of my favourite cars of all times :D
Didn't know you was into cars, sweet!
Yeah KBD!! lol
Yes.. you are the only one who likes the Lamborghini....
matthebest018 Hey man! :D
Michal Wicinski Cars and Jay :D
Jay is the best man... treat everyone with respect no matter their background...
I can't believe it's 25 years old either! Time flies! Yes, it still looks like a newer car to me :)
It’s 32 years now old now!
"The Diablo is one of the best looking Lamborghinis ever".
Johnny Barrett I like Countach and Miura more.
SaintsRow2001 The Miura is the best I think but probably one of the most expensive now. Miura is pure beauty and an icon.
Nah.
@@SaintsRow2001 Diablo definitely looks better than a countach
The Diablo SV is my all time favorite Lambo....at the Canadian GP I once saw three SV's...one pearl white with a candy purple SV logo; one orange with a metallic blue SV....and a black one with silver SV.
That exhaust note
That was everyone's dream car in the 90's. Thank you Jay.
The Diablo is the embodiment of a super car. It’s so sexy in every way. I remember being in Las Vegas and seeing a Diablo with a young boy inside. Obviously there to watch that the car wasn’t touched. Fantastic Lambo
Diablo cocaine white!
It's gotta be a trick finding the line you're gonna snort off the wing!
Honestly after watching this I would buy it over a newer Limbo if I had the funds.
same here.
You are nuts I'd take the new one all day.
jtech87 can girls gymnastics
I'd steal it over the veneno if I had balls :P
I tend to agree with you however the Hurracan I'm sure would change my mind
Thanks Franco and thanks for sharing Jay!
Still one of the best looking supercars ever made.
I wanted to see Franco drive it.
i love the design, it's so 80s but stays fresh forever.
Every few months I come to watch. God I love the Diablo. My dream car is a v 12 with a gated shifter.
My friend Jay took me for a ride in one of these. It rattled like a go cart but it took off like you were on a speeder bike from Star Wars! The trees blurred. It was insane.
Haha, I have that same Alpine stereo in my car!
Just 10,000 more pieces and I'll have a Diablo.
***** 84
Lmaoo great comment
How's the progress?
Oh god yes...dat sound, dat sound.
Sweet Jesus.
That old lambo still an eye catchy...love it
One of the best reviews. Love the family tradition of quality and excellence
I remember this being one of my favorite cars in the first need for speed on ps1 lol
Yellow and Black Diablo SV
I love the styling. The 91-93 Mitsubishi 3000gt's share alot of the basic styling with the diablo.
I love listening to Jay he reminds me of that cool uncle who was corny like your dad but still cool and just one of the guys even when you were younger.
Omg this is probably the best colour for diablo ever. :o white raven. It's amazing to see people so passionate about the cars that they work with daily. You'd think they got tired of it after so many years of exposure but they still fresh in the love. Respect!
The Lamborghini Diablo was always my favorite Lamborghini. Good video!
"that's a power plug now, not a cigarette lighter" hahah
I have watched most of your videos and I have to say... this is the sweetest sounding car you have featured on this channel. I think I'm in love. Haha!
So fresh n so clean clean. Gorgeous ride Franco. Love it.
Easy to call it bulletproof, with only 26k on the ticker....
I was looking at a pinto today - 525k, strait, runs... THAT is bulletproof, say what you will about pintos.
Are those 26 thousand miles or kilometers? Note that "Km. " indication over the odometer, seems to me this comes with the european measurement, don´t you think? That would make it almost 16 thousand miles.
My all time favorite, and probably the last TRUE Lamborghini.
I dunno, the old Gallardo looked pretty good.
Yeah... But the Gallardo was made after Audi took over. It's not a true, demonic Lamborghini. It's not scary.
@@TearothDK you said it !
@@anotherrandomcommenter4473 How can you mention the Gallardo when talking about "True Lamborghini's". Gallardo's have V10s, they are in no way a true Lambo....They aren't terrible cars mind you, but sorry if i'm buying a Lambo I want the raw V12 sound of the Countach or Diablo.
@@scottwilson1251 Well, sorry I’m not a sommelier of Lamborghinis. I just grew up seeing gallardos and murcielagos and preferred those.
As soon as Jay mentioned the miles and the kid said it was broke in....he went full open season and I appreciate it 👌
All of these old school Lamborghinis and Ferraris, Corvettes, and Porsches make me SALIVATE.
HEY JAY GIVE US WHAT WE ALL WANT! You've had your actual custom P1 delivered, share with us some of that ole' McLaren-Leno-love.
I trust you'll do the right thing.
Damn it Jay.. I was just about to go to bed..
Lol same
my gosh, what a beautiful example of this car. I have always loved these. What a dream it would be to take a ride in one of these let alone drive one!
Jay has one too. He shows one on his personal vehicle rides. He doesn't mention it here but he says even 25 years ago the machine blew through gas. I would recommend finding the video of him doing a review own his own lambo.
I really enjoy your videos Jay, thanks for doing them. Love the history of the cars. I wish I could own one!
What a beautiful machine and Franco & family are cool! Thanks Jay!
I'll never understand why the Diablo was and still is so disliked, a few upgrades were needed but what supercar of that era generally didn't? I think it looks great, especially in white :)
I have a 91 diablo and just snapped the pinion shaft. I remembered this video and I appreciate that you mentioned Franco's European. Not many shops out there that have the tools to work on these older Italian's!
Favorite lamborghini ever made. just love the Diablo models
My two favorite cars Lambo Countach and Diablo. Back in 1998 I was at a Utah Show room and actually got to sit in a Diablo SV. :)
No traction control no ABS no power steering, no paddle shifters No AWD, Definition of fun
I love when Jay accidentally/on purpose cuts people off with acceleration and engine noise haha 10:08
Sweet ride. Thanks Jay.
All I could think about was Dumb and Dumber. "Those are better than cash sir, those are IOU's. This ones a car, 150 thou, might want to hold on to that one".
"We got no food, we got no jobs, our pets HEADS ARE FALLING OFF!"
I think the same thing too every time I see a Diablo!
This car is one of the many many reasons Dumb & Dumber is my favorite movie of all times lol
" What if he shot me in the head...thats a chance we were willing to take" haha my favourite movie...and my dream vacation is still to go to aspen...preferably in a lambo with a stupid outfit on haha
"We'll take it!" VROAAAAR
Hey guys! Ahhh big gulps huh??
Welp, see ya later!
The Diablo was the last of the really memorable Lamborghinis and the only one that actually has performance merit before Audi took over. First 200 MPH car they ever built and had looks that I don't think they ever surpassed. Modern Lamborghinis try too hard to look far out and exotic that they don't look good and seem awkward.
+Jason Stanley I agree, the new lamborghinis look like they're trying too hard to be exotic and end up looking awkward.
+Google plus sucks Maybe it's because I grew up in the 90's but I remember all the supercars back then like the Lamborghini Diablo, Dodge Viper, McLaren F1, Ferrari F40/50, Saleen S7 and they all seem so much more than todays supercars even though they lacked the technology and refinement they had the performance and rawness that makes them so incredible. It's all about their image now. Selling cars for profit.
+Google plus sucks to me they blend more these days. Instead of looking different
+Jason Stanley if anything todays lamborghini's looksometimes less interesting instead when compared by other super cars
+Jason Stanley Legendary cars, worth more than any of the modern hypercars. But also there's a ton of regulations and standards new cars have to meet, so the designers can only do so much.
A boy's dream.... this boys dream....dreams don't always come true. Great video thanks for sharing.
Italian opera on wheels - magnifico !
Thank you Jay for another great episode.....
I love this car definitely better looking then the Countach
Jonathan Díaz meh
There is nothing like the Countach. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.
Best looking super car hands down, not just saying that bc I had one on my trapper keeper and a poster on my wall when I was a kid....
Some of the most good looking cars came out in the decade 1985-95
I love the white paint
The interior always gives away a cars age. Looks very modern from the outside, although I think the cheap plastic black license plate frame with white lettering on the back is bad bad bad. Another great video.
That licence plate frame is to show off his business. Better than some aftermarket lettering on the car, keeping it somewhat original I think.
It has Nissan 300ZX headlights for gods sake... modern???
No that frame is ok. It's pure period correct 90's style!
Gerfall It was in a later year that Lamborghini introduced the Z32/R390 headlamp assemblies into the Diablo. Z32s don't have pop-up lights.
Beautiful... Still incredible
I've always appreciated Lamborghini V12s as a whole
What an awesome car!.. Damn I love old school Lamborghini's
my fav lamborghini by far, esp how tuned this one is
the diablo is so classic. love it.
Sounds amazing!!!
